*Important Note:
This is an adults-only class designed for those seeking a deeper understanding of conspiracies and controversies. It’s not intended for students or minors, but for mature learners ready to explore complex and often challenging topics. Through thoughtful, open discussion, participants will examine mainstream narratives alongside alternative theories, gaining tools to think critically and independently about the information shaping our world.
While the teacher approaches topics from an “awake” worldview, personal beliefs are never imposed on students. In fact, there are several conspiracies discussed that the educator does not personally subscribe to. Each topic is presented neutrally, with both the mainstream narrative and alternative (sometimes fringe!) theories explored side by side. Students will be given access to source materials (via hyperlinks in the slides) and encouraged to think critically, analyze evidence, and form their own conclusions.
We openly and respectfully discuss sensitive topics such as race, religion, politics, and government overreach/tyranny.
Learning Goals
Critical Analysis: Students will develop the ability to examine multiple perspectives on controversial topics thoughtfully and objectively. They will learn to question assumptions and explore ideas beyond the surface to deepen their understanding. This skill helps build open-mindedness and intellectual curiosity.
Media Literacy: Students will learn to recognize bias, misinformation, and propaganda in various media sources and narratives. They will practice distinguishing between credible evidence and misleading claims, enhancing their ability to navigate today’s complex information landscape. This prepares them to become discerning media consumers.
Balanced Understanding: This course encourages students to explore both mainstream narratives and alternative theories surrounding key historical and current events. By comparing these viewpoints side-by-side, learners gain a comprehensive understanding of the issues and their complexities. This approach fosters critical thinking and balanced judgment.
Evidence Evaluation: Students will practice evaluating evidence critically by examining primary source documents, videos, and other multimedia materials provided. They will learn to assess the reliability, relevance, and context of information before drawing conclusions. This strengthens their research and analytical skills.
Independent Thinking: Through respectful discussion and debate, students will build confidence in forming their own well-reasoned opinions. They will learn to articulate their viewpoints clearly while considering opposing ideas thoughtfully. This cultivates intellectual independence and respectful communication.

"This class has been really eye-opening for me. I always thought the media told the whole story, but now I see there’s a lot more to question. The teacher showed us the facts and let us decide what we believe. Some topics are a bit confusing at first, but the linked sources help a lot. I feel smarter and more aware about the world now."
